NEGKTIE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 13, 1916.

Application filed June 8, 1915. Serial No. 32,814.

. fication.

My invention relates to improvements in neckties of the class commonly known as woven tubular neckties. Neckties of this class and particularly washable ones have been objectionable for the reason that their tubular character has preventedthem from retaining their proper flat condition; and, after being washed, their tubular character has made it quite difficult to iron them into the proper flat condition.

The object of my invention is to overcome these objections and to produce a necktie having many novel advantages.

I accomplish my object by the provision of a necktie formed of warp and weft threads interwoven in such a manner that the weft thread portions may be formed of one continuous thread, that the warp threads may extend continuously through the neck band and the widened end portions of the necktie extending from the neck band, and that the neck band may be formed wholly or in part of a single web while one or both of the end portions may be formed of a flat tubeand the part or parts thereof joined to the neck band in the proper flat condition by their union with the single web of the neck band.

In accordance with the object thus generally. stated, my invented necktie consists of the novel combinations and arrangements of the woven threads thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and particularly claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention; Figure l is a view of the outline of a. necktie in accordancewith my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged View showing a part of the neckband and a part of one of the tubular end portions extending therefrom formed of interwoven threads in accordance with my invention, the threads being spaced from each other for clearness of illustration. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on line 33 of Fig. 2.

.Referring to the drawings, the necktie shown in Fig. 1 comprises the neck band 2, the large widened end portion 4 and the small widened end portion 5. The neck band 2 is formed of a single web 6, and the large end portion 4 is formed of a fiat tube, joined to the neck band 2, at the line 7, and including the upper web 8 and the lower web 9 which are joined at their edges in forming the flat tube in the usual manner common to woven tubular neckties. small end portion 5 may be formed of a single web, similar to the neck band 2, or, preferably, it may be formed of a flat tube similar to the large end portion 4, and joined to the neck band 2, at the line 11, as desired. 7 j

The several parts of the necktie are formed of interwoven warp and weft threads, the warp threads 10 extending The throughout the length of the necktie, and

the weft threads being formed of a continu-. ous thread 11 which extends back and forth from side to side of the. necktie throughout the length thereof and provides the weft thread portions 12 of the neck band 2, the weft thread portions 13 of the upper web 8 of the tubular end portion 4, and the weft threadcportions 14 of the lower web 9 of the tubular-end portion 4, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the continuous thread 11 extending spiral-like throughout the tubu- 12of the neck band 2; and, at the junction 7 of the neck band 2 and the tubular end portion 4, the set of warp threads'lO is divided and one half or substantially one half thereof are interwoven with the weft thread portions 18-of the upper web 8 of the tubular end portion 41, and the other half or substantially the other half thereof are interwoven with the weft thread portions 141 desiredto be produced on the necktie, as is well known in this art of weaving.

'1 preferably arrange the Warp threads 10 in pairs, for example, threads and 16 constituting one pair and threads 17 and 18 con stituting another pair; and I cause the two threads of each pair to take the same course through the weft thread portions 12 of the web 6 of the neck band 2, and, in dividing the set of warp threads at the junction 7 of the neck band 2 and tubular end portion 4',

' I divide the two threads of each pair and causeone thread of each pair to be interwovenwith the weft thread portions 13 of the upper web 8 of the tubular end portion 4, and cause the other thread of each pair to be interwoven with the weft thread portions 14 of the lower web 90f the tubular end portion 1, asclearlyshownin Figs. 2 40 and 3. o a

g In the drawings I have shown eachwarp threadlO as-va single thread for clearness,

but, as is well known in this art, each warp thread is composed of two strands which lie side by side and fill the space betweenthe lateral' edges of thewidened end portiontof the .3 have been greatly enlarged and widely necktie and which are crushed together in the relatively narrowneck bandportion of the necktie. It will, of course, be understood that thethreads shown in Figs; 2 and separated for clearness of illustrationof the structure, and that in the finished" product there are practically no spaces between adjacent threads of the different fabric webs 6,8and9; r

My improved necktie not only has the advantages of retainingits' proper formand d of being easily put back into proper form as hereinbefore mentioned, but-it also has I the advantage of having a neck band which is thinner than a neck band of tubularform andcon'taining-the same number and thick}.

ness of threads, permitting my improved necktie to slide through a collar with ease.

I claim:

-1. A necktie including aneck band por-' tion formed of a single web, andfa fiat tubu,- lar end portion, wider than the neck band portion and forming upper and lower webs, and including a set of warp threads extending into said band portion and said webs, and converging'from the body of the end portionto the body of the neck band portion 7 and weft thread portions in said band and in said webs, the weft thread portionsof said band portion being substantially in a sin gle plane, the weft thread portions of the respective upper and lower webs of said end portion being substantially in two different planes, all the warp'threads of said Set being interwoven with weft thread portions of said bandportion, said set ofwarp threads being divided at the junction of said band portion and said end portion, one part of the divided set being interwoven with weft other part of the divided set being interwoven with weft thread portions of said lower web. f

2. A necktie including a neck band portion and a flat tubular end portion, forming upperand lower webs, and including a set of warp-threads extending into said band portion and said webs, and weft thread portions in said band and in saidwebs, the weft thread portions of saidband portion being substantially in a single plane, the weft .thread portions of said upper web, and the thread portions-of the respective upper and lower webs of said endportion being substantially in two different planes, the warp threads of'said set being arranged in adjacent pairs which cross each other between adjacent weft thread portions of said band, the threads of each pair passing together over and under adjacent weft thread portions of said band and inclosing them in sheds, the threads of each 'pair separating at the junction of said band and said end portion, one thread of each pair passing over and under adjacent weft thread portions of said upper web, the other thread of each palr passing over and under adjacent'weft thread portlonsofsald' upper web, and the separated threads of the pairs inclosing'weft threadportions of said upper web and weft thread portions of said lower web'in sheds.

3. A necktie including a neck band portion formed of a single web, and a fiat tubu lar end portion, wider than the neck band portion and forming upper and lower-webs,

and including a set of warp threads eXtending into said iband portion and said webs, and converging from the body of the: end

7 portion to the body of the neck band portion and weft thread portionsin said band threads of said set passing over, and under 10 weft thread portions of said upper web and incloeing them in sheds, and substantially the other half of the threads of said set passing over and under weft thread portions of. said lower web and inclosing them in sheds. 15

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
